C++ Dark Arts: Configurable Policy-Based Class Design with Variadic Templates

For the next meetup, Brian Davis will be presenting on highly configurable policy based class design through variadic templates.

Abstract

This presentation will delve into the dark art of variadic template metaprogramming in C++11/14, giving a basic overview of how to develop variadic class templates and then using these techniques to demonstrate a novel style of policy-based programming that allows the development of library code that is highly configurable at compile time while also being easy to use.
